I am confused about the "on/tare" button. How do I get it to measure the item and the box and be sure the tare function is turned off?

What I do is weight my package. And that's all you have to do. Now for the tare, weight your item, press the tare, it will zero out and than you can added. Just record the difference. I use it for my fluid intake as well. Say I put 8 ounces in a glass, than only drink about half, so when I put the glass on the scale, it will show you the weight. Press tare, and it will zero out, and than add more fluid, like 4 ounces. Hope this helps.

The tare of a container is its weight when it's empty, which is important to know when you can't weigh something without putting it into something else.

Not certain what the 'tare' function is as I'm currently traveling and the scale is at home. I used this scale to weigh items that I was taking on a 7 days trip where I was limited to a maximum of 20 pounds of gear. Because I go on these trips often and because literally every ounce matters, I'll use the scale to weigh individual items such as socks, underwear, plastic forks....it is EXCELLENT for this because it gives information in tenths of an ounce. I put the item on the scale, weigh, clear, next item, weigh, clear, etc....I can answer your question in a few more days if this didn't help.

Tare is zeroing out the scale. You set the tare every time you turn it on. You would use the tare if you are using this as a kitchen scale. Place your measuring cup/bowl on the scale press tare and it will return to zero disregarding the weight of the container. Then when you add your ingredients when it reads 12oz for example you will have 12oz in the container.

To be honest I don't remember because I don't use that feature. If you've misplaced the owner's manual, go online to the DigiWeigh WeighMax website and they should have instructions for the model you have. Or Google WeighMax....model number....owners manual, and you should get results that help.

Tare just means you zero out the machine before you measure your item just in case there is someone on the machine. You just need to add your item on the machine and it measures it automatically. you don't have to click anything. heck you don't even need to tare the machine. Unless your machine is really filthy and there is stuff all over it, all you need to do is put your item on the scale and it measures it for you.

It is simple, just put whatever you want to tare out on the scale and press the Z/T - On/Off button. The scale then shows 0.00 on the display, pronto!

I have not used this feature. The instruction booklet says it stores the last measurement, even after it is turned off. Also, you can elect to add to or subtract from the stored measurement, instead of simply replacing it.

Yes it does have the tare button, and actually it also has a small tape measure. If I'm not mistaken it's a little over 30". But it is a great little scale, especially for the price!

just use the tare button, it'll reset it to cero no matter if it's got a bowl on or nothing.

you need to balance it, by pressing long on the right buttonthe reason it is this way is because it allows you to put a container on it and balance it to 0 - it will measure what you put in the container without the weight of the container...

You turn the button on/ off, have it on then you choose press Unit for gram or press again for kg,press again for OZ, wait until the screen appear all 0.00 before you place your item on the scale,other wise it wouldn't work. This scale weight up to 5 kg. Check battery once a while.

Turn on the instrument, put the cylinder on the scale and press the zero button. Now, it reads the amount of weight lost as you put in the refrigerant. You do not enter any specific setting.If you wanted a tare weight, turn on the unit, zero it and then place the cylinder on the scale. You now have a tare weight. Not good for anything, but you have it.

No the auto function cannot be turned off. I just tested the length of time till off, on my scale, and it's three minutes. I find that length totally acceptable. If you're using the tare button, and adding a succession of ingredients, the auto off gets reset back for the start of the three minute countdown, each time you hit the tare button and add another ingredient. Hope that helps. http://www.oxo.com/OA_HTML/xxoxo_ibeCCtpOXOPrdDtl.jsp?a=b&item=63529&section=10057

If it won't turn on as usual, I recommend taking the batteries out for a minute, reinstalling them, and going through the tare process again. (I believe this is just stepping on it to wake it up, then stepping off before it locks on your weight to allow it to balance to 0)

Calibrate, meaning to get it back to 0? I put the item I want to hold the food such as a paper plate or a bowl/cup on the scale, push the "tare" button and it will reset to zero. Then I add the item/food I want to measure the weight of.

Just push and hold for a second the right hand button, same as turning on the sca.A shortcut is to place the container on the scale ffirst, then push the on button, the scale will automatically start with the tare at zero.

Yes, you can do this 2 different ways. One is to turn it on with the tare container already in place. It'll zero. There is also a tare button (on the right) for you to reset once the unit is on. Max load remains the same so use a light tare container for more measuring capacity.

Good question and according to the instructions it does do tare weight; it's displayed as a negative. Here's the info I have from the manual -- I. TARE WEIGHING (1.) Turn on the scale as described above. (2.) Place a container on the scale hook and wait for it to stabilize (HOLD will be displayed). 3. Tap the [] button. "0.00" or "0" will be displayed. (4.) You can now add items to the container or tray to obtain just the weight of the contents. (5.) When the container is removed, a negative number will be displayed. Press [] again to zero the scale. Note: The "[]" is the icon on the scale, which didn't copy here. But here's a link to the PDF: http://www.americanweigh.com/images/PDF/SR-Series_manual.pdf (search term "tare").

Mine doesn't go on buy that doesn't bother me. Until you asked this question, I never thought about it. I suppose that would be nice (my old one did have the light feature). Thanks for bringing this up. I'm still happy with it; my old one lasted for decades.

I didn't do anything except turn it on. Did you check to make sure the batteries are in? All I do is hit the TARE button, it comes on. If you want to change units then click the other button to change from grams to oz or whatever. The numbers should automatically appear. That's it. Nothing special to do.
